Gamble Knows It's Good

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Ian O'Hara raised the button to 80,000 and Nathan Gamble defended his big blind to see a flop of {6-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

Gamble check-called a bet of 40,000 and then check-called one of 80,000 on the {k-Diamonds} turn.

Action then went check-check after the {k-Clubs} paired the board on the river.

"Ace-queen," Gamble said as he tabled the {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

"It's good," O'Hara said before flashing just the {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for an inferior two pair.

"I know," said Gamble. "It has to be if you check back there."
